Chapter 830 Commission and Opportunity
“Have you received a new commission? Is it so efficient?”
Conan looked at the time and looked at Mouri Kogoro with some surprise.
This is the second day of the banquet. It has only been ten hours since Kogoro Mouri and Fei Eri distributed business cards. He has not yet sorted out his emotions from the last case. As a result, now As soon as he got up, he heard Mouri Kogoro's announcement.
Artists, do you have such a strong need for detectives?
"It's not just me. Eri has also received several new commissions and invitations." Mouri Kogoro yawned widely as he adjusted his tie in the mirror. "This group of people, rich and free, have some things they want to do." It's normal to spend money to solve it."
"So, mom left in such a hurry this morning?" Mao Lilan raised her head and regained her composure.
She was a little annoyed because her mother washed up and said goodbye just after the weather was clear, and she was worried that her father would have some problems getting along with her again and they broke up on bad terms.
"Yes, it was originally because it was late, so I stopped by to rest for the night." Mouri Kogoro cleared his throat and ignored the teasing looks of the three young people in front of him, "She had a show in the morning. I have to attend the court hearing..."
"Well, I have to go to the living room to sleep on the sofa..." Conan said this while giving Karasawa a winking expression.
Tang Ze understood instantly.
It seems that Fei Yingli and Mouri Kogoro slept in the same bedroom last night.
"Anyway," Kogoro Mori coughed twice deliberately, avoiding the topic and returning to the topic of commission stiffly, "yesterday's banquet was indeed a good opportunity, and I still have to thank the blue man. Mao Xiaozi’s.”
His reputation is only one aspect of why he started to receive well-paid orders so quickly. Kitagawa Yusuke’s invitation and Kisaragi Minesui were good to him because of Mio Tokiwa’s accident. The impression also plays an important role.
This industry values connections and relationships far more than ordinary people imagine. In addition to the differences caused by status and personal achievements, the views of family members also affect all aspects of the art world.
Thinking of the amount marked on the entrustment letter, Mouri Kogoro felt invigorated and smoothed out the creases of his suit more carefully.
"Okay, I'll deal with the situation at the Metropolitan Police Department first, and then go to the client's house in the afternoon. You guys, stay calm at home."
Looking at Mouri Kogoro Straightening up and walking out of the office door, Tang Ze took out his cell phone to check the time and stood up on his own initiative.
"I'm going to get my materials back. Mr. Amuro has prepared a sandwich. You don't have to wait for me for lunch."
"Get my materials back?" Conan blinked, feeling that Karasawa was There may be a lot of information hidden in a vague description.
"Dr. Kihara has been confirmed to be involved in multiple criminal cases and will definitely be prosecuted." Karasawa stood up and described the fact caused by himself calmly, "I have to get my medical records back."
"Ah..." Conan was startled as he remembered the so-called treatment Tangze had received in order to confirm the other party's intentions.
No one knows whether Kiharagawa will record on paper the peculiarities of Karasawa that are closely related to cognitive mysteries. This is indeed a matter of life and death and cannot fall into the hands of others. .
"See you later."
At the last moment when Karasawa closed the door of the office, he caught a look of serious contemplation on Conan's face and guessed what he was thinking about. He couldn't help but smile.
Rather than saying that he really wanted to get something back, it would be better to say that he was intentionally reminding Conan that it was time to collect more information about Karasawa himself.
Wineries that want to bring down the world must not only expose their criminal facts, but also beware of the resources and connections that these cutting-edge technological capabilities may bring to them, especially since they are inseparable from knowledge. The impact of Hexue, a discipline that can be called supernatural.
The relationship between Zhi Hexue and him is closer than anyone imagined. Conan will confirm this sooner or later.
"Cognitive Hexology?" Sitting in the supportive but overly soft and fitting embrace of the bean bag sofa, Kyosuke Haga read out the name of this unfamiliar and awkward subject, "This is Kitagawa-kun The source of the ability? "
Shimabukuro Kimie, who was placing the tea in front of him, stopped and exchanged a look with Asai Narumi who was sitting opposite.
The leader revealed something extraordinary to him, but did not give any hint of Kitagawa Yusuke's true identity. The meaning conveyed to these members was already clear.
Narimi Asai quickly adjusted his attitude and responded to his question seriously: "I don't know how you understand his ability, but if you feel something different from him, Place, that might be it."
"A place that is different from ordinary people, the brain?" Haga Kyousuke blurted out without thinking.
Having experienced Kitagawa Yusuke played by Karasawa, I always feel that these words are like those of the eccentric Asai Narumi: "..."
"Oh, I didn't mean that." Haga Kyosuke After saying that, he felt that this sentence was quite ambiguous, so he couldn't help but wave his hand, "I want to say that from what I can tell, the world Kitagawa-kun sees and feels should be very different from ordinary people. It seems like he has experienced something." It’s like a sensory variation. Is this related to cognitive psychology?”
"Indeed." Asai Naomi picked up his teacup, "Since you can get the address here and walk through the door safely, it means that the person who gave you the card thinks that you have something in common with us." Tell me, what do you want us to do?"
As he said this, Asai looked at Haga Kyosuke with a softer look.
If anyone in the group knows this talented musician best, it is him.
The palace of Haga Kyosuke took him a long time. In the process, he inevitably looked directly into Haga Kyosuke's heart and also heard his inner voice.
He could probably guess what Haga Kyosuke was troubled by.
It's just that he doesn't know how to face the Shitara family who are his enemies and his last relatives, let alone Shitara Renxi, who is truly innocent in this matter.
His hatred for the Shitara family is real, but he does love and tolerate Shitara Renxi, the little girl he watched grow up. Once he chooses to take revenge, he will never be able to return to his current position, and he will become completely alone because of his weak relationship.
But he had to do it. The increasingly approaching date was like a reminder, constantly reminding him of how that greed-driven drama had destroyed his entire life and made him lose too much. Lots of stuff.
What he wanted to ask most may not be people in similar situations like Kitagawa Yusuke, nor the phantom thief who can change people's hearts, but the elders who were ashamed of him.
After killing his parents, wouldn’t they look at him with guilt? When stroking that peerless piano, did they feel the intoxication of the beautiful tone, or the smell of blood flowing in it?
Asai Narimi had many guesses, but at this moment, he wanted to hear what Haga Kyosuke would say.
Kyosuke Haga touched the tea cup in his hand. After a few seconds of silence, he finally plucked up the courage. "I felt hesitant and at a loss on some questions. Kitagawa-kun gave me an answer, but he also said that there might be an answer that is more suitable for me. I came here to find a new answer."
< br>
He raised his head and looked at Asai Narumi's handsome face: "So, are you the other answer Kitagawa-kun said?"
Asai Narumi listened to his words. , couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
This was said very tactfully, but Haga Kyosuke was indeed not an idiot. He fully understood the meaning of the completely different answers described by Karasawa.
When he was Kitagawa Yusuke, Karasawa could not express his position. For the future of this identity, and for the expectations of Mr. Kisaragi Hosui, Karasawa would not let Kitagawa Yusuke's image and ruthless revenge What is the connection between them.
But the real Tangze didn’t think so, and he never encouraged repaying evil with kindness.
He is an example, as is Shimabukuro Kimie, who sat down on the other side with a dignified manner.
At that time, Tangze said that he did not choose to forgive his former teacher, but only because the other party's guilty plea allowed the law to punish him. Therefore, it was completely different from his answer, which meant that he chose another path and chose revenge.
"It seems that you have completely figured it out. You still have the courage to sit here, which is really admirable." Asai Narumi kept smiling and said some scary words, "As you guessed, yes, I chose the darker path, and I killed my enemy.”
Kyosuke Haga, who had made some assumptions before arriving here, was mentally prepared, but when he heard his direct admission, Still couldn't help holding my breath.
"Although now, even if I take the initiative to plead guilty, the methods I used are extremely difficult to hold accountable, and there is no evidence to prove that I killed someone, but I know that I did it." Asai Cheng Shi answered calmly, "I originally planned to use my life to ignite a bigger flame after doing all this, but leader helped me and gave me a chance to continue my life."
At this point, Asai Narumi, who had basically explained the situation and there was no need to hide his identity anymore, put down his cup.
Haga Kyosuke instinctively paid attention to his movements, but was stimulated by a burst of scorching flames and was forced to narrow his eyes.
When he opened his eyes to look again, the clothes on Asai Narumi were completely different from the loose casual clothes just now. The flame-like feathers and the black and gold fox face completely revealed his identity.
When he got the notice letter from the envelope, Haga Kyosuke had already guessed that the destination of this trip must be not simple, but at this moment when seeing was believing, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"The Phantom Thieves of the Heart...you and Kitagawa-kun, and..."
Shimabukuro Kime, who was sitting next to him and pouring tea, also smiled back.
"Abandon the past identity, abandon all the past, and treat it as the me who has completed the revenge. I have died in the fire, and I have 'resurrected' like this." Asai Narumi took down herself The mask resurfaced, "I wouldn't call this atonement, or repentance for past crimes, because I don't think I did anything wrong. The law can't give me justice, so I'll give myself one." , nothing more.”
Haga Kyosuke was still immersed in shock, but his eyes when he looked at the other party had involuntarily brightened.
Yes, the law cannot give him justice.
It has been 20 years since his father died. The original murder case has long been concluded. Everyone believes that those fictional robbers really exist. His father did not die because of the intentional actions of his relatives, but because His life was taken away by a strange robber.
Now, even if he learns the truth, even if he asks the Phantom Thieves of the Heart to help him, change all his arrogant and greedy father's brothers, and sincerely repent for his father's death, the established fact has already been Cannot be reversed.
The case has already been concluded. Even if the case was not misjudged at the time, the prosecution period would have been reached by now.
Taking a step back, even if there is any evidence to prove that those people killed people out of greed to embezzle his father's property, his father was not deliberately murdered, but just rolled down the stairs during an argument. In the end, He was seriously injured and couldn't make those people pay any price...
It was this knowledge that, like insects and ants, had been gnawing at his heart in the past two years, preventing him from even a moment's sleep. ...
"What we are doing is exactly this kind of thing." Shimabukuro Kime rolled up her sleeves and picked up her cup of tea, "The boundaries of the law, things that cannot be judged by the system, those things that make people The angry, disgusting despicability of people, it is up to us to solve it. It cannot be quantified, but it is already overflowing with disordered desires. This is what we are 'stealing'."
Haga Kyosuke touched his upper and lower lips. He touched it and opened and closed his mouth a few times.
This time, he couldn't make a sound, but he finally heard the voice from his heart.
A harsh cry that could not be told whether it was a cry or a sharp laugh...
"Do you want to formally issue a commission to us?" Asai Narumi, who felt that his heart was shaken, issued an invitation at the right time, "Can you Not many people come up to us and make requests to us face to face, Mr. Haga."
"I, I...I want to..."

“It feels like a big house, and it’s quite grand...”
Tightening the shawl on her shoulders, Mao Lilan stood in front of the iron gate, looking at the buildings of the manor through the lush trees, and praised dryly.
It was a little stiff and she didn't sound confident enough, but she couldn't help it. Facing the Shitaku family's house, she really couldn't express her praises.
Following Mouri Kogoro and Suzuki Sonoko, she has seen too many magnificent mansions.
Japanese style, European style, exquisite and grand, her horizons are getting wider and wider. Looking at this house wrapped by ivy and completely immersed in greenery, if it sounds good, it can be said to be quiet, if it sounds bad, it is quiet. To say that this state of neglect is too dilapidated.
She couldn't help but think of the few words she heard yesterday between Kisaragi Minesui and Kitagawa Yusuke.
The Shitaku family has produced extraordinary talents. They once became famous for their talent in music. But in this generation, the only nephew with outstanding achievements changed his surname because of his father's early death. For those who don't know him, , few people connect him with the Shiloh family, and now it looks even more bleak.
She turned her attention back to the lady in front of her.
The middle-aged woman in a formal suit, with her hair in a tight bun, and a silver chain hanging from her glasses, looks like a stereotypical housekeeper who is hard to talk to.
"I just checked, and I didn't find that my master has arranged a meeting with you." The housekeeper Tsuqu Hongsheng pushed up his glasses, "Are you sure you have been entrusted with it in advance, Mr. Mouri Kogoro?"< br>
